Base sketch, front and back profile of the Ginger monkey.
His pose and overall anatomy has been adjusted to be more simian in nature. Old concepts felt too human with an animal head for my liking.
His facemask is a brown gray that covers the top of his nose and goes over the backs of his ears.
His coloring(though not pictured here) will remain about the same with amber hues and deep chocolate spirals that are near black except in the sun. The swirls themselves lore wise represent the yaoguai nature that has twisted his soul and changed him from a mere animal into something more.
He still has brown scillera with bright gold irises. Occasionally sporting teal eye liner if he's in the mood.
A better look at Ginger's outfit. Color wise its still a blue grey with lighter trim and yellow sash. Though now refined a bit better than a haphazard fold of fabric. He also sports some gear, including a gourd, coin purse, waist satchel and cherry wood prayer beads.
The sleeves are 3/4 length, stopping halfway down his forearms rather than at his wrists. He will occasionally tie them up when foraging, working, or if the weather is just too hot.
Just a couple sketches of Ginger, getting used to the skeletal structure of his adjusted anatomy.
Paper sketches. Ginger is getting a bit of refining done to his design, including a better look at his outfit and slightly more simian anatomy.
